Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to children & pets
• Environmentally Friendly
